Hand Wash Awareness

Hand Wash Awareness

Handwashing aids in the prevention of the spread of infectious illnesses. Contaminated hands can convey a variety of infectious illnesses from one person to another. Infections of the gastrointestinal tract, such as salmonellosis, and infections of the respiratory tract, such as influenza, colds, and coronavirus, are among these disorders (COVID-19). Hand washing with soap and water can help prevent the transmission of germs that cause certain diseases (such as bacteria and viruses). Some gastrointestinal and respiratory infections, especially in young infants, the elderly, or those with a weaker immune system, can lead to significant problems.
